Their vision of the further development of Anna Kuzemko, Chief Editor Palaearctic Grasslands, as well as a map of the ([email protected]) density of the group members, can be found on page 4. Our Photo Editors Rocco and Jalil continue to work actively not only on illustrating the journal with beautiful photographs, but also on preparing the sections “Photo Story” and “Photo Competi- tion”. This information is presented on page 5. Special issues of scientific journals are an impor- tant part of EDGG activities, so pay attention to the fact that you still have the opportunity to sub- mit abstracts for possible publication in the Spe- cial Issue of Flora on Ecology and Evolution of Steppe Biodiversity in collaboration with EDGG (see announcement on page 6). On page 7 you can find information about the recently published 13th EDGG Special Feature of Tuexenia on Conser- vation, management and restoration of semi- natural and natural grasslands in Central Europe. The main material of the current issue is an article about a little-studied impact of artificial light at night (ALAN) on protected areas of Ukraine, which was prepared with the cooperation of Ukrainian and Hungarian scientists (pp. 8-14). A "Short Con- tribution" on the 90th anniversary of the Ukrainian steppe reserve also concerns protected steppe areas of Ukraine (pp. 15-16). In the “Photo Story” section you can enjoy beauti- ful photos of the plant world of ancient burial mounds – kurgans of the Carpathian basin in the Hungarian lowlands.

All the continents of the world are represented, except for Antarctica, with members coming from 67 different countries. Countries with the highest number of members are Germany, Greece and Italy, with 262, 125 and 78 members, respectively. However, when member density per million inhabitants is concerned, the top three positions are occupied by Estonia, Greece and Latvia, with 12.91, 11.60 and 8.20 EDGG members per million inhabitants, respectively. We encourage new members from all over the Palaearctic realm to join the Eurasian Dry Grassland Group. Researchers from underrepresented areas like the North Africa, the Middle East, Middle, Central and East Asia are especially welcome! Edy Fantinato Board of Palaearctic Grasslands is still growing Our editorial board continues to grow. We are pleased to introduce two new linguistic editors - Lorna and Richard and their vision of the future development of the Palaearctic Grasslands. I would like to see Palaearctic Grasslands develop into a highly respected repository for the publica- tion of high quality articles on Palaearctic grass- lands. It would also be good to encourage the sub- mission of more articles with a nature conservation theme and possibly papers on aspects of the fauna of semi-natural grasslands. Richard Jefferson I hope the journal will provide information and in- spiration for exciting new collaborations in research and conservation, by being informative, profes- sional, accessible and beautiful.

  • Hibernacula of Barbastella Barbastellus in Ukraine: Distribution and Some Ecological Aspects
    Vespertilio 16: 55–68, 2012 ISSN 1213-6123 Hibernacula of Barbastella barbastellus in Ukraine: distribution and some ecological aspects Andriy-Taras BASHTA Institute of Ecology of the Carpathians, Kozelnytska 4, Lviv 79026, Ukraine; atbashta@gmail. Com Abstract. The paper presents a study regarding the winter aggregations of the barbastelle bat (Barbastella barbastellus) in western Ukraine, based on data collected in natural underground spaces and artificial structures (abandoned mines, ancient monuments, military fortifications, etc.). Some parameters including the size and dynamics of winter aggregations, as well as microclimate conditions of hibernacula were investigated. The most numerous barbastelle hibernaculum has been found in the Tarakaniv fortress (Rivne region); the largest aggregation of the species consisted of ca. 950 individuals. The numbers of barbastelles in Ukraine seem stable or even increasing. In Central Europe the species is not threatened as seriously as it is in Western Europe. Distribution, hibernation, winter aggregations, conservation Introduction The barbastelle bat, Barbastella barbastellus (Schreber, 1774), is a Palearctic bat species. Its range stretches from the northern Morocco to Iran and from southern Scandinavia and Latvia to Greece (Wołoszyn & Bashta 2009). In Ukraine, the barbastelle is found from the western borders to the Dnieper river. The majority of records come from the western part of Ukraine and the Crimean Mts. (Kovalyova & Taraborkin 2001, Bashta & Potish 2007, Bashta 2009). The last assessment

  • Crimea Guide.Pdf
    Crimea Crimean peninsula located on the south of Ukraine, between the Black and Azov Seas. In the southern part of the peninsula located Crimean mountains, more than a kilometer high. Peninsula is connected to the mainland of Ukraine by several isthmuses. The eastern part of Crimea separated from Russia by the narrow Kerch Strait, a width of less then ten kilometers. Crimea - is one of the most interesting places for tourism in Ukraine. On a very small territory - about 26,800 square kilometers, you can find the Sea and the mountains, prairies and lakes, palaces and the ancient city-states, forts and cave cities, beautiful nature and many other interesting places. During two thousand years, the Crimean land often passed from hand to hand. In ancient times, the Greeks colonized Crimea and founded the first cities. After them the Romans came here. After the collapse of the Roman Empire, Crimea became part of the Byzantine Empire. Here was baptized Prince Vladimir who later baptized Kievan Rus. For a long time in the Crimea live together Tatars, Genoese and the small principality Theodoro, but in 1475, Crimea was conquered by the Ottoman Empire. More than three hundreds years the Ottoman Empire ruled the Crimea. After the Russian-Turkish war in 1783, the peninsula became part of the Russian Empire. In 1854-1855 Crimea was occupied forces of Britain, France and Turkey. During the battle near Balaklava death many famous Britons, including Winston Churchill's grandfather. And now, the highest order of the British armed forces - the Victoria Cross minted from metal captured near Balaclava Russian guns.

Forests cover 9.4 mln ha of lands. The total volume of timber comes to 1.74 billion m3. Timber presently is the forth important natural resource in Ukraine following oil, gas and coal. Over the last decade, the development of democracy, open market economy and advanced society has achieved a great progress in Ukraine. Drastic changes in social and economical life exerted direct and indirect influence on forest sector, especially on condition of forests, biodiversity, and public attitude towards forests, production and consumption of wood products. Most part of Ukrainian forests - sixty five percent - use for environmental and public purposes. While occupying less than 6% of the area of Europe, Ukraine holds approximately 35% of its biological diversity due to location at the junction of various natural zones and covering of the crossing of animals' and plants' migration paths. Ukraine contains four natural zones: broad leaves woodlands, forest-steppe, steppe, and Mediterranean Natural landscapes are represented on nearly 40% of the territory of Ukraine. The least transformed natural landscapes can be found mainly under forests. Near 44% of forests performs protective and conservative functions. Since 1992, i.e.

  • Decision-Support System for Spatially Distributed Multi-Hazard Risk Analysis
    Decision-Support System for Spatially Distributed Multi-Hazard Risk Analysis Maryna Zharikovaa, Volodymyr Sherstjuka, Bohdan Sakovycha a Kherson National Technical University, 24 Berislav Road, Kherson, 73008, Ukraine Abstract The paper dwells on a dynamic spatially distributed model of multi-hazard risk analysis for critical infrastructure elements, which is meant to assess risk indecision-support systems. Multi-hazard risk is centered around a model of the socio-economic system, hazard dynamics model, a model of the dynamic vulnerability of critical infrastructure elements, and a model of multi-hazard risk assessment. The hazard dynamics model represents the knowledge about the dynamics of hazards, their interactions and cascading effects using plausible event-tree networks with the events having both temporal and spatial reference. Multi-hazard risk analysis model allows assessing integrated dynamic spatially distributed multi-hazard risk in decision-support systems dealing with a threat, vulnerability, damage, cascading and domino effects. The risk scenarios within the decision-support system can describe multi-hazard risk as a multitude of spatially distributed dynamic processes influenced by a various range of drivers. The practical use of the proposed model is also considered. Keywords1 Decision-support system, risk assessment, critical infrastructure, multi-hazard risk, risk scenario, cascading effect, domino effect, event. 1. Introduction Imagine our world being impeccable, without any disasters, losses and risks – it is hardly possible, isn’t it? Unfortunately, natural disasters are quite ubiquitous, and the forests, sabulous and marine areas, such as rivers, lakes or coasts are no exception. For instance, sandy or arenaceous areas suffer from erosion, which can provoke landslides or coastal fade; rivers and lakes may be prone to shallowing and drying out, and constructing dams on rivers cause coastal erosion and wildfires that make slopes and cliffs more susceptible to floods, sinkage, landslides, mudflows and so on.
